FALL

I’ve decided that it’s time for my internet version of me to
start lining up a little bit more with the real me.

Wait, Rena, you LIED to us???

Oh, gosh, internet, how quickly we jump to conclusions. No.
I haven’t lied. In fact, I’ve been super duper cautious to never lie on the
interwebs (the Easiest to Fact-Check place ever). But, I have left certain
things out. Like lots of things. I've spent a lot of my online existence trying not to "offend the wrong people" and I'm starting to realize, that's just silly. Who am I going to offend? My readers? My opinions are in my books! All writing, at some level is autobiographical, so it stands to reason many of my opinions have already been heaped on my readers. And many of my opinions are downright silly (Yes, I love Sailor
Moon, and No, I don’t see a problem with how often she gets saved by Tuxedo
Mask. She saves his buns a lot too. A LOT! That’s what we call partnership.
Also, he’s never bummed out about being rescued by a girl, so in some ways, it’s
pretty girl positive, but I digress).

To that end, I'm going to run a bit of a series this fall to get back into the swing of blogging. This series is going to be pretty simple: Things I love, enjoy, or am generally obsessed about. Expect a lot of book and movie reviews, lots of talk about painting and museums, and some pictures.

I want to talk about the things that make me really excited,
and right now, it’s Fall.

I LOVE FALL. It is easily my favorite time of year. I know
people like the other seasons, but I’m all about Fall. I love turning leaves
and grass getting green again (yeah, I live in California, and our wild grasses
go blond for the summer, but with the coming rains of fall, they green up
again). I love how the days can’t decide and start with frost that melts into
day with skies blue like glacier, but a sun bright enough to cut your eyes. I
love the stars of fall, turning overhead to the great lanterns of winter,
guiding us (in my melodramatic feels) through the darkness.

I love Halloween, and only wish that we could celebrate it a
little differently.

And yes, I even love pumpkin spice latte. I know, I’m a
walking cliché, but there it is. I love Fall. (Spoiler alert, I also really dig
Spring!)

I hear you on this one. The leaves are starting to change here and it's glorious. Also, after living in a desert for so long, where there wasn't much time between "blazing hot" and "utterly frigid", I think we both appreciate the change of seasons a bit more now. ^_^
